Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. We had the Ruben and the Cuban grilled sandwiches and they were amazing. Also had the jalapeño onion fries which were so yummy. To top it off we had a slice of the chocolate gluten free pie. It's a must stop when we come into town now! Lots of other healthier options too. Full...

My fiancé and I experience the laughing seed while in Asheville for the ballet. We decided to try this restaurant because we are trying to transition to vegetarians. The food was mediocre. I'm sure we would have enjoyed it more if we would have chosen different entrées. The service was mediocre to less than as well. The server did not...

My husband and I decided to visit Laughing Seed Café again after not having been there for approximately 10 years. (this time frame is a guesstimate, not sure exactly when). We had high anticipation as we had enjoyed our several visits in years passed. We were terribly disappointed, however, when our experience today that did not come close to our...

Let me start by saying i'm a meat eater and my wife is a vegetarian. Now, let me tell you that this is one of my favorite places to eat when i'm in Asheville.

We took the kids to Laughing Seed for lunch and enjoyed the visit. We sat outside on the attractive patio and watched the world go by. The kids had kid's pizzas (one with soysauge). The adults had a "veggieburger" and "The Local." All were tasty and reasonably priced. Service was friendly, albeit a little slow.

This is a wonderful restaurant for vegan/vegetarian. They have creative options on the menu to choose from. We brought our dog with us so we had to sit outside. It was sort of windy that evening. Other than that, I am very happy with the food served.

We were visiting from out of town and met an elderly relative who uses a walker. She had an easy time getting in and out and we all enjoyed out meal, especially the freshly prepared juices. Great location too.

We have eaten here twice when in the area. It is a bit eclectic and perhaps just a bit pricey. We needed to get our meals as take-out, and they were very accommodating! The many great reviews speak for themselves. The very few who give this place terrible reviews need to be less demanding, less self-centered and more understanding.

My family took me here for Mother's Day lunch last May and we were pleasantly surprised by the mocktails we indulged in while waiting at the bar. Yes, the food was good too, but the creativity in these mock cocktail concoctions were creative and delicious.
